Overview: the C710 "Flapjack" is an experimental tailless fighter-bomber with a single 2500hp four-bladed propeller engine. The aircraft, despite being a bit slower than other propeller fighters, has exceptional maneuverability at both low and high speeds, and can out-maneuver many aircraft of similar type. The aircraft features 5x 50lb bombs and two wing-mounted rotary autocannons.


FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

Maximum Airspeed (TAS): 400mph, 644kph, ~348knots.
Maximum Altitude: 30,000ft, 9,144m.
Takeoff Airspeed (IAS)(Full Load): ~100mph, ~161kph, ~87knots.
Landing Airspeed (IAS)(Full Load): ~85mph, ~137kph, ~74knots.
Controls:

  • Activate1: Engine Activation.
  • Activate2: Toggle Bombs/Bomb Bay Doors.
  • Trim: Trim.

NOTES

  • The aircraft has a tendency to become hyper sensitive to large control inputs at low airspeed, which can result in a control stall and dramatic aircraft movements.
  • The aircraft may experience slight drifting while on the ground. Expect slight landing gear wobble when turning at higher ground speeds.
  • Do not drop the bomb payload while performing Negative-G maneuvers. I recommend pitching up slightly while dropping the bomb payload.

    Note: I apologize for the less-than-favorable nosewheel steering. I've tried just about every solution I can think of to counter the drifting, but the current adjustment algorithm was the best one I could come up with.

    This is one of the most ridiculous looking plane designs I've seen.
    Keep up the good work, Comrade!
